Re: two real head-scratchers from the newspaper ...
in reply to a message by RoxStar
The Richard Speck story is a very good reason why giving children at least one mn and preferably two is the safe option.
As for Mary Christmas ... I'm assuming she didn't die at the North Pole! My daughter was given a little toy mouse one Christmas, cute little thing with grey fur and a festive red-and-green floral dress. It was her best toy friend for years. When she asked me its name, I said "Chris Mouse" but she didn't like it so my next suggestion was, I'm afraid, Mary Chrismouse. This name stuck. I think Mary Chrismouse is still at the back of a drawer somewhere, enjoying her retirement.

No, she died in Florida, but was a native of Wilmington, Delaware and that's where her funeral will be.
That is a great name for a Christmas mouse!
